Not sure if neurotypical or divergent yet but...
Yeah! I have that ability for some reason. I can make my brain silent but it makes me feel weird thinking in images and hunches rather than a monologue. I've always wondered if other people can do it without meditation training. I mean, realistically speaking it should be common enough, right?

So that is not what they mean...

By silent,,they mean nothing. Emptiness. Zero stimuli.

Yes, completely silent, as in nothing, empty, zero thought is happening in the foreground. The images and hunches are secondary and it's the only way I can think in that mode but it feels primal.

The background would be my subconscious deep down. I can't explain it. I know things are happening up there because I'm alive but I'm not conscious of them. I have to conjure the images to put those things into words per se so I can have more complex thoughts.
